A few moments after engine start I can hear five-or-so (they are very rapid, approx 2 sec for the entire sequence) very faint "thunks" from the front of the car. The sound is the same regardless if i am in gear or just stationary, steering deflection does not affect it. In short: It is always the same.
It does not sound like a "bad" thunk. As an analogy My old SAAB had a similar (but louder) sound when the powered antennae was extended or retracted since the motor just used a timer)
I am just trying to figure out what it may be? Front light levelers (does not seem to be connected to a visible shift in the dip of the lights though..)?
